WallbankWill Not Return
Reports that Dr. T. Walter Wallbank, professor of general studies now teaching on a Fulbright grant in Cairo, will come home shortly are unfounded, according to a letter received from him yesterday by the general studies department.
Dr. Wallbank does not plan on returning to the U. S. even after he completes his teaching term at Cairo. He will spend the summer in Europe.
He will make a round-about, trip in going to Europe from Egypt, visiting Near Eastern countries north of Egypt and docking at Greece. Italy and France specifically included in his travelogue.
He will return to SC for the fall semester.
Blood Drive Soon to Cet Underway
Fraternities, sororities, and other residence groups on campus will be the objects of a series of visits by Red Cross committee members Monday night as they seek to explain the importance of giving blood for SC's 1952 blood drive.
Named by drive chairman, Daryl Emerick, to the visitation committee were Sharon Swan ton and Anne Clements. Posters for the drive will be handled by Barbara Johnson and Mary Ann Carter.
Miss Emerick is asking for 900 Trojans to contribute their blood during the drive. This quota is 321 over the 579 pints collected in last fall's drive.
“The need for whole blood is more critical now than any time since the end of World War II,” said Miss Emerick. The West Coast is the chief center for collecting whole blood for Korea, she said.
‘ Since whole blood last§ only 21 days, it must be collected and shipped as rapidly as possible for use in Korea,” she explained. After 21 days the blood is made into plasma.
Besides giving blood for Korean casualties, donations are also important to the individual. Miss Emerick said. In case of emergency, a student can draw on the SC “account” at the blood bank and doesn’t have to pay private individuals from $25 to $60 for a pint of blood.
Blood is available to those who have donated at any time by just calling the health center or Dunkirk 4-5261, she said.
Signups for donations will begin Monday and last until Mar. 26. Members of Troeds will be at the table ki front of the Student Union from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily to make appointments.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be on campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Apr. 1 to 3, to make collections.
Dr. Baxter to Address Faculty Members Tonight
Faculty members and their wives are invited to attend University College’s regular weekly lecture on European travel tonight at 8 in 206 Administration building. Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English and literature, will speak on “Institutions of England.”
can answer.
Who Am I?
Such fundamental questions as “Who Am I?” and “What Am I Doing In This World?” are the thoughts driven from man’s intelligence by his religious drugs, Dr. Ross said.
But in another sense, he rhetorically retorted, religion does not act as a drug. "High religion,” as Dr. Ross termed it, encourages man to persist in the investigation of life's meaning and the attempt to answer these fundamental questions.
“I object to passing out marijuana on every street comer,” Dr. Ross said, returning to the opiate religion, “and I’m not sure we need so much drugs to keep people from thinking things out and finding out what they really believe.”
No Growth Value
“Religion seems to have no real value in helping people grow,” he said. Instead it is an excuse for not growing, for avoiding fundamental questions.
“Denominations have value only to the extent that they help a person outgrow his denomination,” Dr. Ross said in answer to one of the many questions raised in the hour and a half long discussion.
No Heresay
“This is not heresay,” he chuckled. EMt it is true of every institution, Dr. Ross explained. “The function of an institution is not to . rixate people on the institution, but help people grow—it is a ladder by which we rise to new expectations.'’
Applying this logic to the university, Dr. R:ss said, the deadest thing around a campus is the faculty, who “uses his original class notes for the next 20 years of lecture.”
“If denominations and religion have so little value, why is ao much emphases placed on church attendance ” asked Jeanne Warnock, ASSC senator-at-large and members of the four-woman panel questioning Dr. Ross.
Culture Patterns
Part of the reason for church attendance emphasis is American culture patterns, the agnostic professor said.
There is a danger in telling people they are “made better” by going to church, Dr. Ross said. Some people become about this and assume they are better than people who don’t go to church, he said.
Motive Value
The value to be found in church attendance is in the person’s motive for being there. Dr. Ross said.
If persons are motivated to attend church for the purpose of exploring, searching, and learning at their own tempo, then church attendance has value for those persons, he said.
“Your church may be Doheny library, a laboratory, or a hill, as in the case of Einstein,” Dr. Roes said, “because of your .motivation for being there.”
“Why are we so often told we must go to church to find a better life?” was the question raised by Darleen Farrell, moderator of the panel and undergraduate coordinator of women’s curriculum.
Dr. Ross doubted if everyone found “a better life” by going to church.

WallbankWill Not Return
Reports that Dr. T. Walter Wallbank, professor of general studies now teaching on a Fulbright grant in Cairo, will come home shortly are unfounded, according to a letter received from him yesterday by the general studies department.
Dr. Wallbank does not plan on returning to the U. S. even after he completes his teaching term at Cairo. He will spend the summer in Europe.
He will make a round-about, trip in going to Europe from Egypt, visiting Near Eastern countries north of Egypt and docking at Greece. Italy and France specifically included in his travelogue.
He will return to SC for the fall semester.
Blood Drive Soon to Cet Underway
Fraternities, sororities, and other residence groups on campus will be the objects of a series of visits by Red Cross committee members Monday night as they seek to explain the importance of giving blood for SC's 1952 blood drive.
Named by drive chairman, Daryl Emerick, to the visitation committee were Sharon Swan ton and Anne Clements. Posters for the drive will be handled by Barbara Johnson and Mary Ann Carter.
Miss Emerick is asking for 900 Trojans to contribute their blood during the drive. This quota is 321 over the 579 pints collected in last fall's drive.
“The need for whole blood is more critical now than any time since the end of World War II,” said Miss Emerick. The West Coast is the chief center for collecting whole blood for Korea, she said.
‘ Since whole blood last§ only 21 days, it must be collected and shipped as rapidly as possible for use in Korea,” she explained. After 21 days the blood is made into plasma.
Besides giving blood for Korean casualties, donations are also important to the individual. Miss Emerick said. In case of emergency, a student can draw on the SC “account” at the blood bank and doesn’t have to pay private individuals from $25 to $60 for a pint of blood.
Blood is available to those who have donated at any time by just calling the health center or Dunkirk 4-5261, she said.
Signups for donations will begin Monday and last until Mar. 26. Members of Troeds will be at the table ki front of the Student Union from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily to make appointments.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be on campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Apr. 1 to 3, to make collections.
Dr. Baxter to Address Faculty Members Tonight
Faculty members and their wives are invited to attend University College’s regular weekly lecture on European travel tonight at 8 in 206 Administration building. Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English and literature, will speak on “Institutions of England.”
can answer.
Who Am I?
Such fundamental questions as “Who Am I?” and “What Am I Doing In This World?” are the thoughts driven from man’s intelligence by his religious drugs, Dr. Ross said.
But in another sense, he rhetorically retorted, religion does not act as a drug. "High religion,” as Dr. Ross termed it, encourages man to persist in the investigation of life's meaning and the attempt to answer these fundamental questions.
“I object to passing out marijuana on every street comer,” Dr. Ross said, returning to the opiate religion, “and I’m not sure we need so much drugs to keep people from thinking things out and finding out what they really believe.”
No Growth Value
“Religion seems to have no real value in helping people grow,” he said. Instead it is an excuse for not growing, for avoiding fundamental questions.
“Denominations have value only to the extent that they help a person outgrow his denomination,” Dr. Ross said in answer to one of the many questions raised in the hour and a half long discussion.
No Heresay
“This is not heresay,” he chuckled. EMt it is true of every institution, Dr. Ross explained. “The function of an institution is not to . rixate people on the institution, but help people grow—it is a ladder by which we rise to new expectations.'’
Applying this logic to the university, Dr. R:ss said, the deadest thing around a campus is the faculty, who “uses his original class notes for the next 20 years of lecture.”
“If denominations and religion have so little value, why is ao much emphases placed on church attendance ” asked Jeanne Warnock, ASSC senator-at-large and members of the four-woman panel questioning Dr. Ross.
Culture Patterns
Part of the reason for church attendance emphasis is American culture patterns, the agnostic professor said.
There is a danger in telling people they are “made better” by going to church, Dr. Ross said. Some people become about this and assume they are better than people who don’t go to church, he said.
Motive Value
The value to be found in church attendance is in the person’s motive for being there. Dr. Ross said.
If persons are motivated to attend church for the purpose of exploring, searching, and learning at their own tempo, then church attendance has value for those persons, he said.
“Your church may be Doheny library, a laboratory, or a hill, as in the case of Einstein,” Dr. Roes said, “because of your .motivation for being there.”
“Why are we so often told we must go to church to find a better life?” was the question raised by Darleen Farrell, moderator of the panel and undergraduate coordinator of women’s curriculum.
Dr. Ross doubted if everyone found “a better life” by going to church.
